About Wolt

At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we're building the delivery of (almost) everything and you'll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.

Working at Wolt isn't always easy, but it's definitely exciting. Here you'll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You'll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you're a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.

Our Legal superstars have been an integral part throughout this journey - they've consistently been at the forefront of building and scaling legal and compliance operations in all of Wolt's markets. In Israel, we have 4 lawyers, based in Tel Aviv. We're now looking to hire to our legal team in Israel a temporary position (Maternity Leave), reporting to the Director, Legal Counsel (Israel) in Tel Aviv, heading the country's legal team.

We're looking for someone who has the ability to tackle a number of complicated legal issues, with a practical, problem-solving approach. People who do best at Wolt are those who proactively do useful things that no one told them to do and who tend to find a way when they know something needs to be done. A solid understanding of e-commerce would be fantastic and it goes without saying that you are a true 'people person' :)
